> Hello,
> 
> Our libraries have recently introduced wireless services in the
> libraries, and we have 20 wireless laptops in our two libraries
> available for checkout. After a year of use, our older laptop batteries
> (Gateway Solos) have pretty much lost their ability to hold a charge.
> We'd like to hear from other libraries that offer wireless laptop
> borrowing and have high circulation rates. Key issues/questions are:
> 
> -- how do you maximize battery life? What are your recharge procedures?
> -- what network services are configured on bootup (e.g., student LAN
> space, email profile, etc.)?  How similar are your laptops to your
> public site PC configurations?
> -- what applications/software do you make available? On the hard disk or
> over the LAN?
> -- what is your refresh mechanism?
> 
> Please reply to Stacey at sek2 at lehigh.edu. I'll summarize for the list
> if there is interest.
